Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
Golden and crispy on the outside with gooey melted cheese inside, these homemade mozzarella cheese sticks are the perfect snack for any craving.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz Mozzarella string cheese Cut in half for perfect size
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs Beaten
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs Seasoned (can use pork rind crumbs for a fun crunch)
Instructions
Preparation
- Slice mozzarella string cheese in half.
- Set up a dredging station: place flour in one shallow bowl, beaten eggs in another, and seasoned breadcrumbs in a third.
- Dip each cheese stick in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.
- For the double coating, dip it again in the egg and then the breadcrumbs.
- Place the coated cheese sticks on a tray and freeze for 45 minutes.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the frozen cheese sticks for about 2 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
For a dipping sauce, classic marinara works great or try ranch, sriracha mayo, or garlic butter. Can also freeze uncooked sticks for later use. Bake at 400°F for 8-10 minutes for a healthier option.
